Like dunc, we used it in the telecommunications industry to degrease electromechanical switches. I sprayed I don’t know haw many gallots of this into rotary switches and 2 motion step by step switches to strip off the old lubriccants. I was given an activated carbon respirator like painters use, but they did not supply replacement cartriges. Mine overloaded with Trichloroethane and I was stumpling around like a drunken fool

3 men and myself developed early prostate cancer, and later I developed bladder cancer.. Trichloroethane exposure may have been the culprit.
